(S20) - PT1 - Rookie Mentor

[Briedaqueduc]

Being a rookie mentor is a very serious job. When a rookie will join the site, you will probably be the first one they will have a contact with. So, to be a good rookie mentor, you have to be patient, generous and caring. I think that I can be that. If I were a rookie mentor, I would start by guiding them through how to make a player, because it's the most important part to start with. After that, I feel like it would be a good idea to go over every sections on the site to help them get familiar with the site, as the site can be confusing when you first start. After that, I would give them a little bit of information on every team, to give them an idea of who they are. I would also show them all the things they can do to get tpe and money, and show them what they can do with money, so that they know how to make their player better. Finally, I would invite them to to join both the league discord and the rookie discord. Like that, they can get to know some people in the league and socialize.

Rod Tidwell has been given the keys to mentor a young kid... Hows does he do this, well by doing what Rod Tidwell knows best. Showing him the way of the Kwan and the way of the game.

We start our day by getting up early and getting to the field. This is important as you need to get to the field early to get those extra reps in. To be the best you have to work like the best and if you work like the best, you receive all the Kwan. Once that happens, we get some late breakfast, cause you need to eat, then hit the weight room.

There we do agility and strength exercises. This shows the Rook how to work out and be active in the locker room. You need to gain the respect of the guys in order to get the Kwan.

After that, we take a nice steam in the sauna, a little like bike riding to work out all of those kinks in the body, then go to the film room to study. Usually this is done with my Quarterback Easton Cole and some of the other receivers. When the rook is with me, I take him in there and break down footage and show him how I read the game.

This is better for some 1 on 1 conversation and stuff.

I am going to approach this from a user side of things. So you are a rookie, huh? You just joined the NSFL so now what do you do? There is really only one worthwhile piece of advice, chase that damn TPE down! This means a lot of things though. You need to be persistent. You need to search every nook and cranny of the site for TPE opportunities. You need to dig in and find ways to earn money. One hundred percent, money will be your limiting factor in this league, start early and bank all that you can. Some TPE just grows on trees and ends up as low hanging fruit every week. This is easy. You want to be a good player, cool, you are done. You want to be a great player keep digging! You want to be a hall of fame player, keep digging and keep earning. There are some hidden TPE opportunities like training camps if you joined late or recruiting support threads. Then there are some TPE opportunities that are super easy to miss but always available, like the wiki TPE. Don’t miss out! You should be checking the TPE tracker weekly and checking your competition daily to make sure they didn’t find anything you missed!

Believe it or not, I wasn't the only defensive stud on the Minnesota State football team. I'm talking about Alexander Chase and he is going to be one of the most exciting rookies in next year's DSFL draft. He and I accomplished a lot together on the Gopher defensive line and it would be awesome to bring him to the Grey Duck locker room and show him how another Minnesota team operates. The day would begin with me bringing him and I omelettes to eat but I'd also bring yogurt and fruit to compel my teammates to come over and say hi. I'd want to break the ice with him and my Grey Duck teammates first. This will allow more open and honest communication through the day. After breakfast, he would be invited to work out with the team. We'd talk about Grey Duck specific workouts and he'd meet the personal trainers who help us stay in peak condition. Our facilities at the University of Minnesota were top notch but they aren't anything compared to the Grey Ducks. After working out for awhile, I'd set him up to spot for another player so he can feel like part of the team. The comradery in the DSFL is huge and getting a taste for that will only help Alexander stay focused and committed to the league long term.

After the work out, I would have an hour designated to go over player development. This would include point tasks, activity checks, weekly training and equipment. Working out will only help a player be in tip top shape but player development is increasing one's abilities on the field. Alexander was a cornerback for the Gophers so I would talk to him about the important stats to focus on such as speed and strength. I'd also invite teammate Speedo Meter to come and discuss with him what he sees work and not work for a cornerback.

Once we get through player development, its all about the benjamins. In order to buy those trainings and the equipment we talked about, Alexander will need to make money. I will show him my twitter and how useful it is in adding funds to the bank. Twitter is also a great way to connect with fans and other players. The media section such as written articles, graphics and podcasts will also be a topic of conversation. In order to get his brand out to future general managers, I will even conduct an audio interview with him for the podcast I produce. He will also be able to ask me questions about the DSFL and NSFL during the interview so he can find out anything and everything he wants to know.

I will end the day with taking the young stud to dinner. I will send invites to join us to Grey Duck GMs Woelker and Bauer. It would be a great opportunity for Alexander to pick the brains of two GMs in the DSFL!

Overall the day will be all about informing Alexander Chase of the league while connecting with him further on a personal level.

Welcome to the league, rookies! We’ll start with a brisk morning jog. Nothing quite wakes you up like getting the blood flowing and listening to some jams while running through white suburbia before sunrise. We’ll wave to all the other joggers as we race past them. Working out is always better with a buddy anyways.


Following that, we’ll head out to the morning meetings. Meetings are an important part of getting yourself ready for the upcoming games. It’s where you get to watch film, plan, and brag after you had a good game. The rookies obviously won’t get to see any of the game planning, but they may get a taste of the type of stuff we look at during film sessions as well as the cryptic notes I take that may or may not actually be drink recipes I’m planning in case I open a bar when I retire…Maybe they won’t come to meetings after all. Or at least won’t get to see my notes. They’d still my amazing recipes…


After that, we’ll head to practice and do a little walk through and some drills. I’ll yell at them like any coach would. And once the practices are done for the day, we’ll finish the day off sipping pina coladas and watching the Myrtle Beach sunset with the waves gently washing our toes. It’ll be a great day, I hope!

As one of the premier up and coming players on defense it is only fitting that Tyron Brackenridge become a rookie mentor to inspire new members to follow in his own footsteps. One of the first steps as a new rookie mentor would include showing new recruits the storied history of the league in the Hall of Fame and even meet legendary current players such as Franklin Armstrong, Kazimir Oles, Faith Terim, and many more who will be able to provide a foundation for success and longevity. The second task for Brackenridge would include introducing the rookies to their own lounge area where they are able to congregate, meet fellow rookies, and form friendships or rivalries much like Brackenridge did with Brayden Ennis, which only strengthened his love for the game. Brackenridge would also stress the importance of social media on these new recruits as it provides both the fans and the league with the connection to their favorite players and can even benefit the players through the league policies towards social media integration. One of the last important tasks as a new rookie mentor would be to stress the fact that this is all for fun, as football truly is just a game but its the relationships you make along the way that makes this experience truly great and worthwhile.
